Abstract: A molding assembly for manufacturing a syringe barrel, each syringe barrel provided with a cannula and having a cylindrical portion and a hub portion to which the cannula is fastened. A mold unit is provided having a first mold portion, a second mold portion axially movable relative to the first mold portion between an open position and a closed position, and a core situated in the mold cavity; and a clip unit for the cannula movable between an open position in which a cannula can be loaded in a proximal axial end of the clip, and a closed position. The clip unit is axially movable so as to arrange a cannula in the mold cavity, the movement of the clip being independent of the axial movement of the first and second mold portions between the open and closed positions of the mold unit.

Abstract: A method of settling a transaction comprises the following elements. First of all, a class of transactions for a merchant that create an obligation to a third party is established. This class of transactions is notified to a settlement system. When the merchant conducts a transaction from the class the settlement system is notified, directly or indirectly, with a suitable message. The settlement system settles the transaction, when authorised, as a split settlement directly with the merchant or its acquiring bank and directly with the third party or its acquiring bank. Suitable apparatus and systems for implementation of such methods are described.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method presenting to a user a tag cloud; wherein the tag cloud keywords' are highlighted based on its correlated records through a passive selection (mouse-over or touchscreen swipe); as well as highlighting its related records list(s) capable of representing the records' relationships within the tag cloud; and this method presents to a user a tag cloud; wherein an active selection (click of a mouse or a touchscreen tap) of a tag or a listed record further filters the list(s) of related records; whereas the tag cloud uncorrelated tags to an active selection remain visible and available for a selection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a steering system for the rear wheels (13,14) of a vehicle comprising an actuator (18) for steering the rear wheels (13,14), sensor unit for measuring vehicular parameters (e.g. a vehicle speed sensor (20), an accelerometer (21) and a steer angle sensor (23)) and generating signals indicative thereof, and a control system for controlling the actuator (18) comprising a processor (17) which processes the signals generated by the sensor unit (20,21,23) and controls the rear wheels (13,14) accordingly. The control system of the invention has detection unit to detect when the signals generated by the sensor unit (20,21,23) indicate that the vehicle is sliding and override unit which modifies the operation of the control system when sliding is detected.
